Northside Medical Center Moves Forward on $2M Project
Monday, April 20th, 2015
Northside Medical Center, as it awaits final word on an appeal of its certificate of need for a new emergency room, is moving ahead with a smaller, $2 million project that will add cystoscopy and endoscopy services at the north Columbus hospital.
“We’re bringing in materials and staging it right now,” Northside President Stan Hickson said Thursday. “We will be getting a shovel in the ground in the next couple of weeks. The schedule right now looks like we’re going to complete that project sometime in September.”
Cystoscopy is a non-surgical medical procedure in which a physician uses a cystoscope to view inside a person’s bladder or urethra. Doctors use an endoscope — a flexible tube with a light and camera — to examine someone’s digestive tract.
